I needed a bit of colour in my life. So off to town to find some… The first stop was The Pen Corner, where I purchased my first Caran d’Ache writing instrument. This bright red ballpoint pen is Swiss made and an absolute dream to write with. What’s the use of a pen without a new… Continue reading Mad about Hue
I managed to get through the month of July with a Filofax planner. By mid-July I knew that this system was working as a desktop organiser. I mainly kept it open on my desk at home. I really liked the inbox and outbox pocket sleeves, however, I need to get some sort of document filing… Continue reading #onebookjuly round up

I first learned about the challenge last year and thought to myself, I could never stick with only one book and one pen for the month of July. I never gave it a second thought until the hashtag onebookjuly appeared on my Instagram feed this past week. I… Continue reading One Book July 2017
Anyone who knows me personally or follows my Instagram feed, is aware of my addiction to notebooks and writing instruments.

This is a collaborative effort between Rosemary, Kieran Foley and notebook artisan, Sean of Badly Made Books. I… Continue reading It’s not so bad…
Note: This was orginally posted in The Dublin Knit Collective in November 2014. As I am currently training with Team WeaveSpinDyeIE for the Tour de Fleece spin-along, I thought that I would recycle one of my favourite spinning blogpost.
